Around the Town

I enjoy visiting Hubbardston in the fall, and find the area to be a great way to spend the day. Several farms dot the landscape of Hubbardston. High Meadow Farm is a great organic option located in the town. If you are organically minded it is a good source for a decent selection of fruits and meats. The Country Hen Farm is another option, and offers organic eggs.

Outdoor activities abound for the horse enthusiasts. Wish-Me-Luck Stables offers a relaxing environment for all types of riders. Mt. Wachusett is located very close to the town, and offers many year-round activities. I have taken in many of their fall festivals, and love the view from the top of the mountain. Several hiking trails from Hubbardston offer access to the mountain.
